Wed--made that a complete rest day.
Today (Thursday):
Press 3x5x120 PR, had some gas in the tank left, too, so I thought. Attempted rep #6 on the last set, but failed. I have no micro loading plates... we'll see how 125 goes next week. The dips are helping, I think. Speaking of:
Dips 3x10/10/9
Ab machine did a bunch of sets and reps, finishing with 3x4/6/4 at 140.

Friday:
Squat 3x5x255. Next tuesday will equal my PR attempt, on which I totally failed the second set on both my attempts at it.
BBRs: 3x8x155
Tabata: Upped the sprint level to 17. 207 cal, 1.3 mi. I was whimpering by the end.

Monday
BP 185x3x5/5/7. Could have gone for 8.
Chins 3x5/3/1. Weak.
Dips 3x10/10/2. Just totally failed on the third set. Probably because of the extra reps on the last set of BPs.

Tuesday
Squat 3x5x260 PR I might have been a little high on one or two reps, but am starting to feel the proper bounce out of the hole
DL 1x5x290 PR Last rep felt pretty grind-y, but got 'er done.
No conditioning today; will do tomorrow, plus mob work.
Keeping pressing exercises separate from squat day, plus the extra recovery time, seems to be helping. I'll stick with LP as long as I can before changing things up.

Wednesday was total rest. Cleaned up my crawlspace instead.
Thursday:
Press 3x4/4/1 125lbs, plus 1x8x95 back-off A PR, better than my first attempts at 120
Chins 6/4/3
Dips 10/8/4
Tabata 206 cal 1.1 mi
My squat is crap. See this, where Rip himself lets me have it. Tomorrow, back to the beginning.....

Did a bunch of very deliberate squats at 135#. Working on "sit back, lean over, and shove [my] knees out." Vids show some improvement. I need to bring in a TUBOW.
Also, BBR's 2x8 at 135. Did all those chins yesterday....

Monday:
BP 3x5x190 equals my PR
Chins 6/5/3 Getting stronger--maybe I'll do some on Wednesday, even though its a rest day.
Dips 10/10/8
BW is still around 192, with shoes and clothes on. Could use more protein. Don't want body fat.
Later today is TUBOW squat training, plus an attempt at a new DL PR.

Monday
Bench: 5x5x130 Dumbbells. Dunno why. Neutral grip is nice.
Chins: 6/5/4
Dips: 10/10/5 I think volume of BPs had an effect.
More TUBOW tomorrow.

Tuesday. Sucked balls.
Messed around with squat and TUBOW. Camera fucked up. The one set I did record looked like crap. My squat just sucks.
DL: only 1x5x185. Back is very tired from household demo project.
I think I'll take a week off the major lifts. My quads, specifically the insertion points, are unusually sore due to my quad-emphasizing crappy high-bar style low-bar squat. Shoulders are sore. Back is tired. Think I'll do more Tabata, mob work, assistance stuff for a while, then go back to the SS as written. Teach myself the PC, too.
